Kieran Gibbs has been ruled questionable for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace with a thigh complaint.

The song remains the same for Kieran Gibbs. His talent was rarely questioned at Arsenal but his ability to stay free of soft tissue injuries has. The injury bug that plagued his career at Arsenal has followed him to the Hawthorns and looks like it might keep him out of Week 15 action. Chris Brunt is healthy and seems likely to take Gibbs' spot if he can't recover in time. Fri, Dec 1, 2017 12:48:00 PM

A warning to fantasy managers that Kieran Gibbs is not match fit and, over and above that, his role at West Brom isn't entirely clear at this point.

The question isn't really whether Kieran Gibbs is West Brom's best two-way left back, he is, the question is really what Tony Pulis wants out of that position. Chris Brunt, who is more attacking presence and set piece expert than two-way player, has been manning the left back position thus far this campaign. With Kieran Gibbs arriving from Arsenal, the question remains as to whether Gibbs slots in at left back with Brunt moving further up the pitch, Brunt moves to the bench, or Gibbs is viewed as a reserve/part time player. Until we know more about Tony Pulis' intentions for Gibbs he should be viewed skeptically by fantasy managers. Fri, Sep 8, 2017 01:32:00 PM

Kieran Gibbs has been officially announced as a West Brom player after nearing a deal with Watford last week. Gibbs signed a 4-year deal with the Midlands club.

The former Arsenal left back has been frequently injured but, when healthy, will inject Tony Pulis' side with an element of speed on the defensive flank that they have rarely seen. With Chris Brunt having been stationed at left back thus far this campaign there are two likely outcomes from this move. Either Gibbs is a high end reserve for a mid-table club or Tony Pulis will move Brunt further forward and install Gibbs as a starter at left back as often as he is fit. When he starts, Gibbs is capable of being a solid fantasy contributor but certainly not one to go out of your way to acquire given West Brom's conservative style of play.

Some sections of the press believe that Kieran Gibbs remains a doubt for the FA Cup final despite a return to full training.

The left sided defender missed the win over Everton due to a thigh strain but it was thought that Gibbs would be fine for Wembley, and photographs from the training ground certainly imply that. However, a number of media outlets suggest he is still not 100%. Arsène Wenger will need to manage his squad carefully ahead of the showdown with Chelsea as several player’s availability hang in the balance. The Arsenal manager "does not know" if Shkodran Mustafi [concussion] will be ready "I have to listen to the medical people" while Laurent Koscielny is suspended and Gabriel "is out for six to eight weeks" after damaging his medial knee ligament. "He’s out until the beginning of August." Alexis Sanchez [hamstring] is said to be alright: "He needs to go through some tests [but] knowing the player, knowing his character and knowing his commitment to the club, he’ll make absolutely everything to be fit for Saturday."
